The Long Barn is privately situated within the grounds of the owners own home with its own private garden areas , free Wifi and its own private parking space .


A 10 minute drive down the A30 will find you at Lands End and the wonderful sandy beach of Sennen. One of the most beautiful surfing destinations in the UK.
The famous fishing village of Mousehole is a 5 minute drive away , hosting a number of excellent restaurants and art galleries. Mousehole is famous for many events throughout the year including its ( biannual) Sea Salts and Sails festival , July 5th - 17th 2024, Tom Bawcocks Eve on the 23rd December , along with the wonderful Mousehole Christmas lights. Closing the year on New years Eve with a spectacular harbour fireworks display.

Porthcurno and Porthchapel beaches, the famous Minack Theatre and Penberth Cove, which is regularly used in the filming of Poldark, are all around a 25 minute drive by car.

Take a day trip to the Isle of Scilly, Lands End Air Port - 13 minutes drive - flights are daily . Or catch the ferry from Penzance . The ferry sails daily and is a 5 minute drive away from the property.

Visit The Tate St.Ives and stay for lunch at one of the many eateries which serve wonderful locally caught fish dishes. St. Ives is a 30 minute drive away.

The Long Barn offers a luxurious accommodation finished to a high standard in a peaceful rural setting. There is a very comfortable kingsize bed, with linen bedding. The property is centrally heated through out, along with a woodburner for those who like a real log fire ( logs and kindling supplied). Outside there are two small garden areas both with tables and seating for two people and a private parking space. Take a evening walk through the owners four acres of meadow to the sunset bench and watch the evening sun go down .

About the host

Hosted by Beccy Marshall

Host profile image
My name is Beccy Marshall, I work from home as an artist and my husband Ben is a carpenter/furniture maker. We were both born and brought up in West Cornwall and have lived on this peninsula for all of our lives. We have excellent local knowledge of the area, benefiting our guests if they wish to know of the best restaurants , walks, beaches an places to visit . We ran the Sandpiper Gallery in Mousehole for nine years. After selling the Gallery we decided to buy this beautiful property at Chyenhal. Moving here in October 2017, Ben decided to completely renovate The Long Barn that sits in the grounds of our main property including four and a half acres of our own private meadows.

Why they chose this property

When we came to view the property at Chyenhal , we knew straight away that we wished to purchase it . It is such a peaceful tranquil place to live , just slightly in land but close to the A30 , making it very quick and easy to get to the coast and to all of the local facilities. Ben has surfed and sailed here all of his life and has a traditional sailing boat which is moored in Mousehole harbour. He is also a Harbour Commissioner so it is important for us to be able to get to the beaches and the Harbour fairly quickly, yet still have the the peacefulness of this away from it all location.
Chyenhal is a small rural hamlet with only three other nearby neighbours. It is a little piece of old Cornwall that has been left untouched by modern life , making it a perfect retreat for your holiday.
